The city sparkles in the distance at night

We arrive in masses, RS6 makes noise

The talents panic, that's when it gets tense

That's what happens when we arrive in town

After you, madam

Yeah, after you, madam

Anyway, I'm always here

Yeah, I'm here every night

With 2 or 3 partygoers

We recreate the world in an RS3

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po (hey)

Hey, before thinking about chilling (unh, unh)

Go ahead, bring in the bills (mmh, mmh)

Yeah, bring in the purple, green, orange, blue, turquoise bills

The jeans are torn (torn)

A slightly frosty look (frosty)

I invade your heart, your thoughts

But now, I see there's a crowd in the rearview

There's a crowd in the rearview

I see there's a crowd in the rearview

I'm focused on something else

The city sparkles in the distance at night

We arrive in masses, RS6 makes noise

The talents panic, that's when it gets tense

That's what happens when we arrive in town

After you, madam

Yeah, after you, madam

Anyway, I'm always here

Yeah, I'm here every night

With 2 or 3 partygoers

We recreate the world in an RS3

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po

Wow habibi, how are you?

Are you a party girl? (No)

Do you want me to lay down the vibes? (Oh yeah?)

And under your feet, the petals, yeah, yeah

Ah there, it's wild, when all my friends are around

We make the sand merchant drink

And we invite you to our table, yeah, yeah

It goes too fast, when the bottles empty

We'll stay polite, don't call the police

It goes too fast, when the bottles empty

We'll stay polite, don't call the police

The city sparkles in the distance at night

We arrive in masses, RS6 makes noise

The talents panic, that's when it gets tense

That's what happens when we arrive in town

After you, madam

Yeah, after you, madam

Anyway, I'm always here

Yeah, I'm here every night

With 2 or 3 partygoers

We recreate the world in an RS3

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po, po, po

Po, po, po

We want the dolce vita, the dolce vita, the dolce vita, the dolce vita

We want the dolce vita, the dolce vita, the dolce vita, I want the dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po)

The dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po), the dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po)

The dolce vita (po, po, po), the dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po)

The dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po), the dolce vita (po, po, po, po, po) the dolce vita (po, po, po)

La ville scintille au loin dans la nuit

On arrive massifs, RS6 fait du bruit

Les talents paniquent, alors ça que ça grippe

C'est c'qui arrive quand on arrive en ville

Après vous, madame

Ouais, après vous, madame

De toute façon, moi, j'suis toujours là

Ouais, j'suis là tous les soirs

Po, po, po (hey)

Eh, avant d'penser à aller chiller (unh, unh)

Vas-y, fais rentrer les billets (mmh, mmh)

Ouais, fais rentrer les billets violets, verts, orange, bleu, turquoise

Le jean, il est déchiré (déchiré)

Une allure un peu givrée (givrée)

J'envahis ton cœur, tes pensées

Mais là, j'vois qu'y a du monde dans l'rétro

Y a du monde dans l'rétro

J'vois qu'y a du monde dans l'rétro
